Chapter 35 Within 31 days

"If you wish to make some changes, all you have to do is say the word, Miss Chen," the butler said and Abi quickly shook her head.

"No, everything is absolutely beautiful. Thank you."

"I'm glad you like it, Miss."

As Abigail stood there looking around the vast room, a room as big as her whole house! Straight in front was a lounge area with some lounge chairs and a coffee table. To the right of that was a tall floor to ceiling bookshelf which covered the right wall. Each shelf was filled to the brim with all kinds of books! To the left of the lounge area, she saw a massive four poster canopy bed dressed with light yellow, chiffon curtains hanging from them. They were pulled to the side and tied to the post which showed the bed that was inside it. It looked like a king size bed that had blankets and duvets covered in sheets of a floral yellow design. The pillows were inside matching pillowcases. It looked so soft and Abi had the sudden urge to climb on it and jump around like a little kid.

Further to the right, she saw a couple of doors which she presumed would probably be the bathroom and closet but she didn't investigate those. There would be plenty of time to do that later on.

As she looked around, she noticed that her luggage was already in the room! She looked at the butler in surprise. She didn't see anyone pass them by as they were climbing up the grand staircase so how come her luggage was already here?!

The butler seemed to have understood the questions and surprise in her eyes and he smiled.

"I forgot to tell you, Miss, but there is an elevator. If you get tired of using the stairs, you can always use it."

Whoa!! This house even had an elevator?

Abi's mouth could only form an 'O' before she nodded at him.

"Well then, Miss. You have a rest now, too. You must be tired. Please just call me if you need anything." He smiled politely before he slightly bowed to her and headed towards the door.

Abi followed him to the door and as the old butler stepped out, he spoke as he pointed to the next room.

"Miss Chen, that's the master's bedroom," he said. The doors of the room he pointed out were even bigger than hers! It was the biggest of all the rooms inside this house and it was located in the center. If this was a palace, his room would be the King's! She was glad that at least, it was easy to tell which room was his so she wouldn't just wander off into it by accident.

When the old man was gone, Abi just stood there, staring at the huge door of Alexander Qin's room. She was somehow surprised that he actually gave her her own room. She really didn't understand what went on his mind at all. He kept on trying to scare her ever since the very start so she had already thought of every possible scenario that was waiting for her in his house but what was waiting for her was actually this?

While she was in the taxi cab, she kept thinking about his words and how he told her that he lived in a hellish world. She had imagined all kinds of things, from the kind of house he had and the kinds of people who were around him and that he might be living in a cold, dark, chaotic and dangerous place. However, to her surprise, this was where she ended up, which was the furthest thing from her imagination as it could be. In fact, it was the complete opposite of what she had imagined! This place could be called a paradise.

Abigail shook her head as she entered her room. She knew this was too good to be true. She knew there had to be some reasons why Alexander Qin kept telling her that he was dangerous but right now Abi wanted to believe that everything was alright.

Looking around again, Abigail couldn't help but think of how many girlfriends Alexander Qin had brought here before her. Why did he need his girlfriends to live with him? What was that all about? Alexander Qin, who was he and what was he hiding?

Too many questions flooded in Abi's head but she decided to stop thinking about those matters. She didn't come here just to gather more questions and bug herself about them. She came here today because of her limited timeframe. Yes, this was the first day of their one-month deal, and she wasn't going to waste the very first day just asking questions that might never be answered.

Sitting on the bed, Abi brought out her small notebook. She had listed a number of things she wanted to do with him within 31 days.

She was smiling as she read the lists in her mind. These were like the daily wishes she wanted to experience and surprisingly, she didn't find it hard to imagine doing all these things with Alexander Qin.

However, how would she make him agree to do all these things with her? That was the dilemma she was currently having.

Remembering his ice cold gazes and the smirk on his lips, Abigail couldn't help but heave a long sigh. She could already tell that this won't be easy but after a moment, she lifted her hand and her fighting spirit blazed in her eyes again. She was going to do this! Hell or high water - bring it on!
